NWT anglers or any angler can gain the competitive advantage with Doctor Sonar custom maps of Devils Lake. “Doc” Bruce Samson has multiple major wins to his credit and is known as the Devils Lake master, winning the PWT on the lake twice.
While GPS and Sonar technology are common tools in competitive walleye fishing, few walleye pros have blended the technology with aerial photos, satellite elevation charts and custom-designed contour maps.
Devils Lake has grown in size over the years with lots of unique natural and man made structures being covered by water now. Traditional mapping doesn’t show these unique fish holding structures such as rock pile, fence lines, tree lines, barns, houses and many of the old submerged roadbeds. Doctor Sonar mapping gives you an unparalleled view these items with picture like quality.
Devils Lake 1990
These maps are a series of maps on one chip that cover Devils Lake to give the angler the most complete understanding of the water. First the maps start with a current view of the lake to give a person a perspective of the lake level so they can see where they want to go. Then it goes on to show Devils Lake in 1990 so its easy to visualize what the lake use to look like so anglers can instantly find the submerged roads, tree lines and even down to the fence lines that hold rock piles. Then our copy-righted high-resolution computer models with super high detail of the main part of Pelican bay, all of Creel bay and the Bird Island, Cactus, Ft Totten point area that you won’t find on any other map but ours. You can see on the images below the detail they give you.
Price: $100.00
Devils Lake 1980
This map uses rectified infrared air photos that give details as to the conditions of the land before the lake flooded large areas. The map is B/W IR from Devils Lake west and color IR to the east. It takes a bit of getting use to but people find areas of sand and rocks, potholes and other man made construction. The map chip comes with the current lake level imagery for navigation in the lower resolution levels and our copy righted high resolution computer models with super high detail of the central main area of Pelican, all of Creel Bay and the Totten points and bay area.
Price: $100.00
Devils Lake 1949
The 1949 Devils Lake chip is a set of approx. 100 air photos rectified into one seamless image of the lake in 1949 when it’s surface elevation was about 1405′. To give you an idea of the difference, today its about 1450′. It gives an unparalleled view of the lake when it was next to dry, showing the bottom structure as separate lakes. The map chip comes with the current lake level imager for navigation in the lower resolution levels and our copy righted super high detail computer models of the central area of Pelican, all of Creel Bay and the Totten points and bay area.
